This ranking bump is more a product of The Clinton (Miss.) High School back's body of work and state championship game showing than anything he did this week in practice. Akers jumps up to No. 1 in the country at running back, one spot above Najee Harris in the national rankings. The two will both be at the Army All-American Bowl in January competing side-by-side with an equal shot at finishing with that No. 1 ranking. LSU, Florida State, Tennessee and Ole Miss appear to be the top candidates in Akers' recruitment.

I think he's going to LSU

I don't think anyone truly knows where he will end up, been a very quiet recruitment process with him.

Not saying he isn't, but he's in a peculiar spot as far as his size goes. Whereas Harris has that big frame to work with.
Very similar to Dalvin Cook in size but not as fast, and at 5'11" it's going to be incredibly difficult to add any weight without losing a step.
The closest to him in size/speed is probably Marshawn Lynch, who has made his mark by being super physical and notoriously playing much bigger than his size.
Cam's work ethic sounds incredible, I'm sure he will ball out wherever he signs. I would say that he needs to go the Lynch route in a power run game, but who knows, maybe he can pick up the speed and play more of an open field style role.
Regardless, if I'm his coach next year I'm watching a shitload of tape on how Pete Carroll utilized Lynch.

I'm not a recruiting expert but to me Akers could easily be the #1 player. Really really want that guy at UT.

Come on down Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
